Reopening: Plans to have youngest on campus
Continued from Page 1
Greg Morrill.
“There is no finish line on
when you’re certain,” Rogoz-
inski responded.
For schools to have in-per-
son instruction, the state’s
test-positivity rate must be at
or below 5 percent, the coun-
ty’s test-positivity rate must
be at or below 5 percent, and
there must be fewer than
10 active cases per 100,000
population regionally.
The state’s rate has re-
mained just above 5 percent,
so no districts in the state
can open for all grade levels.
However, the Clatsop Coun-
ty’s stats are healthy enough
to allow on-site learning for
students in kindergarten
through grade 3.
The current plan, subject to
change:
• Those families interested
in a completely online option
are welcome to join Warren-
ton Academy of Virtual Edu-
cation, or WAVE.
• The youngest students,
those through grade 3, will at-
tend school on campus from
8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday
through Thursday. Distance
learning will be added as a
supplement.
• Students in grades 4
through 12 will start with dis-
tance learning only.
• Buses could have as many
as 45 students at a time;
child-care centers would
have up to 30 kids at a time.
When both state and coun-
ty metrics allow:

The relationships formed
with peers are valuable, es-
pecially for the youngest chil-
dren, he added. And during
the past year, parents have
felt the burden of distance
learning.
“We have to consider
the mental and emotional
well-being of students and
the community and protect
our staff,” said Morrill, the
school board’s vice presi-
dent. “Somewhere in the
midst of all that we have to
try to educate students. It’s a
pretty impossible task.”
In other business, the school
board:
• Re-elected Morrow as
president and Morrill as vice
president.
• Approved an agreement
allowing the Oregon Nation-
al Guard to gather at the high
school in case of federal mo-
bilization, and an agreement
with the Red Cross to use the
grade school and high school
for emergency shelters during
a disaster, if needed.
• Set the cost of school
lunches at $2.40 for grade
schoolers, $2.65 for those in
grades 7 and 8, and $2.90 for
high schoolers.
• Approved the purchase of
a digital learning manage-
ment system for the 2020-21
school year for $120,000.
